A woman and her two-year-old daughter who went missing a week ago on November 2, 2020, were on Tuesday rescued from a gang of five abductors by a joint team of Ugunja-based detectives.
The 20-year-old mother and her daughter had been staying at a relative's house at Siaya's Sindindi area days before their mysterious disappearance.
Acting on a tip-off, the officers raided two separate houses within Luanda township in Siaya where the two victims had been confined separately.
